‘ you won’t lose me. ’ <3

TERROR grips his chest, throat, legs, rooting him in place. paralyzed by fear and held still by father’s lackeys. roy watches as they took a blade to riza’s neck, unable to move, unable to protect her or save her. unable to do what she’s done for him all this time. then she’s dropped atop the transmutation circle, life draining as her blood spilled forth. he grit his teeth, eyes cast aside at the sight. the image of her dying in front of him was not something he’d wished to carve into memory. a heavy sigh escaped him, unsure and uneasy. and then, with her last remaining strength, she reminds him of his past words. i can’t die. i’m under strict orders not to die. and she gives him a look; she’s telling him no matter what happens, do not stray from the path.

he promises her. alright. i won’t perform the transmutation.

then the conversation is interrupted, as allies appear just in time, and he’s given the chance to break free. in an instant he’s at her side, lifting her from the cold stone. adrenaline drowns out every other sound, distracting him from the red searing him, his clothes, the ground... 

“ -- lieutenant! c’mon, stay with me... ”

her voice comes quiet, barely audible. you won’t lose me. and her eyes are locked to his for a single moment, a small yet steadfast smile touching her lips. she was promising him this time. he smiled back. just hearing her again was enough for relief to spark -- but it did not begin a steady blaze, as she fell back to unconsciousness, and panic quickly returned. death’s touch would not be bated by prayer; fate could not be bent and bowed to his will. what he needed was no miracle but a doctor, a person versed in medical alchemy. he was all but ready to attempt... something, anything to at least stabilize her...

-- when, as if to prove that fate did listen, a certain xingese princess offered to aid. riza’s breathing steadied, no longer within the grasp of the reaper. alive. he gave thanks, pulling her close. for just this moment, they were both safe, and silence seemed to fill the room. just for a moment... there was peace.

‘ keep your eyes open. ’

INSTEAD OF finishing her off, they leave her with time. not a lot, but just enough. ( –or so she hopes. ) riza steadies a trembling hand over the fresh wound on her neck, blood warming her fingers, dyeing her jacket collar. she doesn’t think about the pain. doesn’t think about what’s going to happen to her. right now, all she can do is focus on him. he cannot perform the transmutation. and she will not be made the ‘weakness’ which casts him into the enemy’s hands. ( taken as a hostage– facing her newfound paranoia of the shadows– long ago she steeled herself for this possibility ) by failing to finish her off, they underestimate what a dying woman is capable of. because she still has the gall to smirk, to speak. i’m under strict orders not to die.

then she conserves her strength, grapples for her thoughts when they threaten to fade. every word, every glance from this moment on matters. it’s when they notice her stillness and wonder if she’s dead, when the colonel blanches with terror that she speaks again to reassure him. this time pleading with him. you don’t have to do this. her approach is countered quickly– but you will do it, won’t you mustang?– and she knows she doesn’t have the breath to argue with. thus she resorts to glaring at him, as strictly as she can manage when his expression wavers– easing her gaze slowly, meaningfully to her gun. he looks away. she hopes he understands. 

riza clings to what remains of her consciousness as she waits for his decision. sweat crawls down her face. her vision blurs at the edges. she can hardly stay awake, stay alive– but she needs to hear him say it. 

i won’t perform the transmutation. 

the relief she feels is immense. enough to bring about a sort of peace, even as she faces the possibility that she just might die here. knowing she can trust him to make the right decision, her hold reality slips, catapulting her towards a certain darkness she had been denying. 

riza’s vaugely aware of a fight that goes on without her. distant and faraway, despite the fact that it’s occurring right over her head… but she can pinpoint the colonel’s voice. just as she knows it’s his arms encircling her now, lending her warmth and the familiar, lingering scent of smoke. she knows it’s him– all her instincts beg her to respond– but she’s never felt so frail before. even opening her eyes is too much. 

❛ colonel… ❜ and suddenly, it gets easier. she sees him. ❛ –i’m so sorry. ❜

LORD HURON SENTENCE STARTERS.

THOUGH the homunculi were far from immortal, they were further from human. they seemed like something from a fairy tale – or rather, a horror story. it came as no surprise to learn of the corruption which ran like poison through the higher ranks, however … to think, the very fuhrer himself could be a monster. 

“ is that so? ” 

HIS fingers entwined together as the words were pondered, eyne set on the once-man. he spoke with such conviction, as though the dead would rise and leave empty graves behind. he had seen these beasts regrow limbs in an instant, but even those fueled by philosopher stones could be brought to cinders.

“ the last i remember, i rendered your sister to a pile of ashes. i haven’t seen her waltzing around since. ”

— A pause. he was certain the homunculi were not invincible. still, there’s no telling they would find themselves in a fair fight, let alone against just one. whatever plan they were setting in motion, it was nigh impossible to predict; he was playing a game of blind chess. his only hopes were to get them into checkmate.

“ i’m not saying their leader can be dealt with in the same way, but … he can’t be indestructible. he must have some sort of weakness. ”

hey babe

TIRED eyes reopen as he detects a familiar presence. he definitely hadn’t fallen asleep at his desk … again. the smell of coffee met him as she approached, two cups in hand; it was her words, though, that truly roused him to consciousness. 

“ hey … ” 

A moment is taken to gather his bearings, ridding himself of remaining lethargy. he smiles as she sets the prepared drink beside him – 

“ thanks, babe. ”

THE urgency was obvious as her gaze met his, a certain determination laced with anxiety in her eyes. he looked to her, similar emotions lurking beneath his smile. a nod was offered, a display of mutual trust.

                                ❛    so… you saw ‘ it ’  too, huh ?  ❜

melancholic words dance with empathy’s misfortune & it’s as if it takes everything he has to voice what he knows will bring only a painful reminiscence. teeth are gritted behind tight lips & he resents the very notion that one should be manipulated into a haven of stolen promises, misguided principles. it’s better now, he thinks. he reminds himself often, this time with a breath. eyes close for a brief moment & he leans only slightly forward, interest ever-piqued.    ❛    what was it like ?  ❜

“ hm ... ” 

HIS fingers wove together as the query was pondered -- it was no simple task. there were no words of which he could bequeath unto this event, this so-called truth. his voice had been lost amidst a sea of fear and dubiety; at the time he’d felt like a soul judged beneath the eyes of some higher power ... a god. was this entity truly what controlled the very world? could it be a falsity, preaching only lies? they could not deny the power it held, however ... it was ironic. after witnessing this truth, he was left with more questions unanswered.

AND then there was the aftermath. he refused to allow weakness to shine through ( not again, & not today ) he would do better than to burden another with personal plights. 

“ you would know better than anyone, wouldn’t you? ”

‘ don’t do that. it’ll only hurt. ’

HER words ring true once again as he makes to sit forward, towards her. pain blossomed forth like the flames he cast – fitting, perhaps. the ashes of what was once a person ( or at least, what looked to be a person. in truth, she was hardly human ) laid scattered about. he had set her ablaze in vengeful ire, for hughes, for havoc, for everything. 

“ i’m … fine. ”

HIS gaze faltered from hers as he allowed for moment to regain some amount of strength. pain … he was not unfamiliar with it, though this particular type was new. minor burns he was well-versed in. this was far from minor. this sort of pain … she must have felt it, back then. after the war, after the horrors they’d both experienced and the terror he inflicted with ease. she did not wish for such power to fall to the wrong hands. perhaps he should have listened to his mentor, all those years ago … though change could hardly come from sitting idly by.

HE could feel the darkness eating away at his vision, lulling him to unconsciousness. he was loath to let himself fall into such a state – leaving would prove that much more difficult and he’d surely cause only worry …he struggled to find a more comfortable position, but moving was, in general, not such a wise idea. 

“ would you … help me stand? we need to get out of here … get havoc … ”
